Hot Mess = Success

Today is the 12th and it is time for another Hot Mess card.  This is card number 28 and we are well into year #3. The idea of Hot Mess ~ Success started with Kelly and the general theme is to Get Messy and you will have Success!  Messiness can be almost anything that we come up with--glitter, alcohol inks, glimmer glitz, sponged backgrounds, etc., anything that is a bit messy.  We are a group of 6 and we will post a card each month on the 12th.  The links to the other 5 members are on my left side bar and I will also link them at the bottom at this post.

For this month's messiness, I made a card using Tim Holtz Alcohol inks for my background--yes, very messy!  I used shades of pinks and reds, along with silver alloy on a piece of Tim Holtz Alcohol cardstock.  I moved the colors around with my Tim Holtz air blower and then I dried it with my Tim Holtz heat-it craft tool.  I added the background to a layer of The Paper Cut Silver Cardstock.   I then used my Lawn Fawn Giant Sending Big Hugs die to cut two layers from the same silver cardstock.  I love the big, chunky letters.  I really like the look of this card and hope you do too.  I also sure hope my fellow messy ladies liked it too!

Here is the inside of my card, with a strip of the inky paper:
